The Future of Export Enforcement Defense

The risks for exporters have never been higher. In an era of record-breaking penalties and aggressive new enforcement policies from the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the U.S. government is changing its civil and criminal enforcement playbook. Shouldn't your defense playbook also change to meet today's challenges and the evolving enforcement calculus?

Partner Christopher Stagg, leader of Holland & Knight's Export Control Disputes and Advocacy Team, will host a timely discussion on these developments. He will share perspectives gleaned from his unique experience as a regulator writing and enforcing export control laws, as outside counsel defending against and negotiating consent agreements, and as a litigator with the rare distinction of successfully litigating against the government's export control interpretations.

This briefing will explore:

• enforcement trends that are developing behind the headlines
• key shifts in the government's approach to investigations and penalties
• perspectives on where enforcement defense is headed
